Yet, I succumbed to "hobby forces" - the presentation of games in magazines and blogs to which I compared my own meager efforts with unpainted cowboys and "army men", and hand-drawn counters. The result was that I shifted to smaller scales and tried painting in a "realistic" manner. <br /><br />It was a few years before I'd shake that off and get back to 1/32 figures - albeit painted, but simply. Although I don't dislike painting figures entirely, perhaps someday, I'll be able to return to the simple joy of playing with unpainted figures as well.
